Conjugate Base
An acid which donates a proton turns into a conjugate base
4 of 12
Conjugate Acid
A base when it accepts a proton changes into conjugate acid

Rate of Reaction
Defined as the change in concentration per unit time of any one reactant or product
7 of 12
Catalyst
Substance that alters the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed in the reaction
8 of 12
Activation Energy
is the minimum energy which colliding must have for a reaction to occur
9 of 12
Chemical Equilibrium
Is a state of dynamic balance where the rate of reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction
